Mermaid Career Planning Guide: Devoting oneself to social services and promoting...
My face darkened, and I said in a warning tone, "I already have a lover."
The mermaid was stunned when she heard this, her eyes gradually turned red. She pursed her lips and whispered, "I'm sorry, I... don't know."
She seemed to have much more sense of shame than the previous attackers.
The mermaid slowly sank to the bottom of the water, spitting out a string of sad bubbles.
I didn't have the time to take care of her feelings, I just said, "Also, you came to this world not because of some marriage god, but because of the interference of the power of other worlds, which brought you here."
"If you really follow their instructions to attack me, you will have only two outcomes."
"Either I get rid of him, or they squeeze all his value out of him and he dies."
The mermaid shuddered, her eyes widened in fear, and her expression turned into one of sad understanding.
"So that's how it is. We, the mermaids, should have known long ago that this world is dangerous."
She whispered, "Didn't you ask me before, where I came from and why I was being hunted?"
"I come from a world where humans, demons, spirits, ghosts, and monsters live together."
"People are born without spiritual power, but they have spirituality, so they cultivate themselves to gain the ability to move mountains and seas."
I frowned, "Cultivating immortals?"
The mermaid tilted her head, as if a little surprised that I knew this, "Yes, but there is more to it than that."
"In addition to cultivating immortals, humans can also cultivate Buddha, magic, and ghosts. However, cultivating immortals is the orthodox way. Those who cultivate Buddha and ghosts are rare. Those who cultivate demons do all kinds of bad things and are not tolerated by heaven and earth."
"We mermaids are spiritual beings, with water as our soul. We are close to humans and have a pure heart."
The mermaid's voice gradually faded, "But the humans don't get close to us."
"The humans took advantage of our compassion and hunted us recklessly. In the end, only I was left of the mermaid race."
"When I was hiding, I exposed my whereabouts in order to save someone, and was hunted down here."
She lowered her eyes, but this time she didn't cry. Perhaps all her tears had been shed when her loved ones around her died one after another.
I frowned, "You know that it's a crime to possess a treasure, but you still show your love to me without hesitation when you see me?"
She pursed her lips and said softly, "I have always believed that there are good and bad people in the human race, and not all of them are bad. We cannot blame the entire race for the mistakes of a few people. Moreover, after I came here, I found that there are no immortal cultivators in this world, and I am not a child who goes to the market with gold."
"You...you are a good person."
I pointed at the mermaid pearl at the bottom of the water through the fish tank, "Really?"
The merman's voice became a little softer. "They are just some tears, not worth much. You helped me leave this place of trouble and gave me plums and snow. I have nothing and wanted to repay you with my body, but you already have someone you love. If you like these pearls, why not give them all to you?"
Her face turned slightly red, and she whispered, "If these are of any use to you, I am willing to exchange pearls for food in the future."
I raised my eyebrows and said, "Do you think these pearls are nothing?"
Facing her confused gaze, I asked, "Do you really think that no one in this world can recognize the mermaid pearl?"
Her face turned pale instantly.
"Even if no one can recognize the mermaid pearl, a pearl of this color and size can be sold for tens of thousands of yuan. The price can be doubled after being made into jewelry. Just make you cry once and you can get hundreds of thousands of yuan for free. Do you think that in order to get the pearl, someone will make you cry non-stop until you cry your eyes blind?"
The mermaid was trembling slightly in the water, and her whole body was tense as she leaned back, trying to escape, but there was only cold special glass behind her.
"Beyond the South China Sea, there are mermaids who live in water like fish but never stop weaving. When they cry, pearls come out of their eyes. If you use their fat to make candles, they will burn forever. If you eat their flesh, you will live forever."
"Do you really think that people in this world don't know your value?"
The mermaid let out a scream, and at that moment, Anle suddenly jumped in front of me and roared.
The sonic protection equipment worked. The scream softened people's hearts for a moment, and there was nothing else unusual.
The mermaid was hit by a high voltage electric current at the moment of jumping, and the whole fish fell heavily into the water.
"It seems that what I said is true." I knocked on the fish tank, met her shocked and angry eyes, and smiled, "Don't be nervous, I'm not a boss who likes to exploit employees, why don't we make a deal."
"You will enter the institute as a specimen. You will undergo a physical examination once a week and provide biological samples once a month. The samples will be collected without harming your health."
"The institute provides three meals a day and accommodation."
"If you want something else, you can sell mermaid beads or mermaid yarn to the research institute in exchange."
The mermaid asked cautiously, "Three meals a day?"
I said, "It's the Deep Mountain Plum Snow you drank today. If you get tired of it, we can also provide flower dew. The specific dew depends on the solar term."
She pursed her lips, and it was obvious that she was a little moved. "Then where to live?"
She quickly added, "At least you should be able to see the moon!"
This is the most basic. I also don’t like an environment with too much smog.
"Can."
She said with a final warning, "I don't believe in your contract. I want to sign it."
I nodded. "Okay, but I have to find the contents of the contract and the witnesses."
The mermaid nodded with her last bit of stubbornness.
I contacted Jiang Qingshu and members of the state's special department.
In fact, the original plan was to let the mermaid sign a contract with a special department, but the mermaid trusted me more and insisted on signing a contract with me, so I was decided to be the final signatory.
"How is it? Is there any problem with the contract?" I asked Jiang Qingshu.
Jiang Qingshu sighed, "This is the first time I know that an equal contract can be used in this way."
"It's very rigorous, and the contract is drafted without any flaws."
Of course there are no flaws. If there were any, my legal team would have been wasted.
So in the end, two copies were made, one indenture and one contract. After signing, the mermaid became an employee of the institute.
Jiang Qingshu hugged a box of mermaid beads and went into seclusion. When she came out, the country would be able to mass-produce cultivators.
At that time, projects such as artificial rainfall, land reclamation, flood control, earthquake prediction, and desert afforestation can all be promoted using the dual insurance of Taoism and technology, which will be faster, more energy-efficient and environmentally friendly, and will also create a number of additional jobs and solve employment problems.
Thinking of this, the mermaid soaking in the pool also became pleasing to the eye.
I called the team that originally served Mary Sue.
"Send over the books and TV series that you collected."
Considering that the mermaids might not be able to read simplified Chinese, I added, "Prioritize the electronic version, and give priority to those with the audiobook function turned on."
…
After the matter of the mermaid was dealt with, a new problem emerged.
Since the mermaid is not the murderer, then who is the serial killer who killed the nine members of the Chen family?
Before the matter was sorted out, there was new development on the pianist's side.
Mr. Mu and Mr. Duan started fighting over the ownership of the pianist.
